i heard 140! But there is no proof that she is really 140. On an island off of japan, it's not uncommon to live to 110!

She was born in France on February 21, 1875, and died at a nursing home in Arles, southern France on August 4, 1997. President Jacques Chirac once said Jean Calment was a little bit like a grandmother to everyone in France. She was 14 when the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889. She led an extremely active life, taking up fencing at 85 years old, and was still riding a bicycle at 100. She portrayed herself at the age of 114 in the film Vincent And Me, to become the oldest actress in film.

The oldest documented person was Jeanne Louise Calment, born in Arles, France on February 21, 1875, died at 122 and 164 days on August 4, 1997. There is an original birth certificate to show that she was born in 1875.
The case of Ma Pampo, however, cannot be confirmed and verified since there is no official birth certificate in existence from that time. She is believed to have been 128 or 131 years old and was born on the island of the Commonwealth of Dominica in the Carribbean.

Elizabeth (Ma Pampo) Israel of Portsmouth, Dominica, was born January 27, 1875 so that makes her 131. Unfortunately, the Guinness World record has not officially recognized Ma Pampo since they are still in the process of verifying the claim.
Officially, Jeanne Calment, is believed to be the world's oldest person (according to Guiness). She was born on February 21, 1875 and died at the age of 122.
Currently, Guinness claims Ecuadorean Maria Esther de Capovilla is the world’s oldest living woman at age 116.
Still, Cruz Hernandez of San Agustin, El Salvador might very well be the world’s oldest living person. She was born on May 3, 1878 and celebrated her 128th birthday on May 5, 2006.
